Best stuff you can find.
Jimmy C.

Another Bi-Rite Market that quickly replaced Real Food Company in Russian Hill. I used to love the predecessor until I truly loved what's even better for both our local communities and our planet. The atmosphere in the local grocery store was just the same as the one in Alamo Square; business friendly. The first time I was window shopping to check out Samovar loose tea pouches, I love to see masala chai right before I swing by several days later. Turned out they're sold out because many people who shopped here love traditional chai. That comes to show how much we're head over heels for Bi-Rite Market which has mostly organic produce. I might be back to Bi-Rite Market if I'm itching to buy what's good.

Lone mountain sandwich
Amy L.

Was so excited when this store finally opened on Polk!! The inside is as expected - bougie, expensive produce and branded groceries. I was pleasantly surprised by their flower selection and premade food section. Their sandwiches are surprisingly affordable (at $14 for a hefty meal) in comparison. I tried the lone mountain and it was absolutely delicious - will definitely be coming back to try more.

Fresh organic, local grown produce. Though can be pricier because of selection
Melinda L.

Interesting store as I've heard about this place and wanted to check it out. Previous reviews did say this was gonna be a pricey place...and it definitely is. It's actually above Whole Foods prices even at quality produce and things, even with their claimed sources of many items. It's worth checking this place out for the experience, but I cannot imagine this as a weekly grocery place - it's just not practical and many items costs more than if you got a quality take out. The fresh product selection had some nice items, ranging about $2.99 to $5.99 per pound. For reference, bananas here at the time of this post was $1.79 a pound. Did it taste any different or, "organically fresher" than your regular supermarket bananas at a third of the price? NOPE. They don't have frozen food here, some microwaveable meals that averaged about $14.99-$16.99 an entree. Potato chips were about $6.99 a large bag. Fun to have visited, but might be my only visit quite honestly. Unless you just want some fancy groceries, you can maybe pass on this store.

The Sutton and the lone mountain
Karlee J.

We got sandos from bi-rite for a little picnic and they were excellent!! I loved the lone mountain (better than the sutro in my opinion)! The focaccia was excellent with flavorful toppings and plenty of meat! Sandwiches in SF can be pricy but imo this one's worth it at $14. Will be coming back for it again!

I love bi rite! They have such a fun selection of produce, premade food and desserts, and snacks. You can also get fresh sandwiches made to order. I tried the lone mountain sandwich today which had chicken, avocado, cheese, pickled onions, peppers on amazing focaccia-- so good! It was around $15 and super filling. It was also prepared very quickly and the workers were super friendly. Such a great spot to pick up artisan goodies and unique food items. I love the big spoon roasters nut butters sold here!

The best part of BiRite Markets! Grab & Go!
Joanna T.

Having a BiRite Market is a definite plus (+) for the Russian Hill Neighborhood. A big step up from the Real Foods Company grocery store which it replaced. The prepared foods (grab and go salads and entrées are delicious!) are pricey! Since I used to venture to the Mission street store in the past before it got really overcrowded then switched to the Divisadero (Nopa) store later, I got to say I'm liking this space. It's the largest BiRite in the City! But I was hoping they would have a scoop counter for their ice cream. When the Nopa store stopped serving ice cream, it was a huge loss imho. When I stopped by on Sunday mid-afternoon, the store was not too busy. The cashiers were not overwhelmed and I found the person who helped me not friendly (at all). This is a sad start on the customer service front. I will, however, shop here again. I'll report back with how it goes.

Key Lime Pie in a glass jar is delicious fresh lime and cream cheese topping!
David W.

Their desserts are delicious and freshly made each day! Just tried their thanksgiving TV dinner that's being offered for T-Day. Excellent quality from moist turkey thick slices to mash potatoes and gravey a little bit of everything in a small package

FRESH Bread selection
Es F.

Yes- it's expensive for every day shopping, but I think Bi-Rite is the best place to try a few local gems like Rosalind sour dough, Dandelion chocolate...the variety of local purveyors is what makes Bi-Rite so special and an important part of the community. I stop by here on a way to a dinner party to grab a fresh loaf of Ube sourdough from Rize up- always a crowd pleaser! Plus the prices on local breads and chocolates are the same as the shops themselves.

Front of container

Don't buy the voila orange juice. The container blew up like a balloon on the 4-5 block walk home. Gave the juice a chance and poured a small glass out to taste. The juicswas bitter and had this carbonation taste. Put the container in the fridge and 10 min later it blew up like a balloon again. Can't believe bi-rite would carry this kind of product and at $11.99 too!!' It went straight down the drain. Huge waste of money!!!!

Beef and Cheese empanadas, Wise Sons plain bagels...
Justin K.

I can spot a weekend trendy from a mile off. You know the bridge & tunnel crowd, that comes into the city to party on the weekends? Bless their hearts. Like aspiring actress Gregg says in the 1959 movie starring Joan Crawford- The Best Of Everything... "here's to clean cut men, and their dirty little minds". Well I've had Sarah Jessica Parker just about enough of it by Monday, being I grew up in the city, and all with my snobby parents; so I decided to go to Bi-Rite market today, in the trendy Russian Hill neighborhood and buy some Chi-Chi groceries. I'd teach you but I'd have to charge. Being single and always ready to mingle I grabbed the "to go" egg salad sandwhich, "to go" Beef & Cheese Empanadas, snap pea pasta salad, Wise Sons plain bagels, goat gouda from Central Coast Creamery, and eggs from Tomalas Bay, life is so boring... and a bottle of my favorite sparkling water Topo-Chico from Mexico. I like Mexico it's so Mexican. The egg salad sandwich from Bi-Rite Market is the star of the show, and truly mon préféré. Bon appétit!

Honey Mama's are at Bi-Rite

Bi-Rite is a family owned business which originated in the Mission District and my childhood store as a kid. The Bi-Rite roof was the best hiding place when playing team hide and seek in the neighborhood . Since I went to high school across the street from Dolores Park we would come here often to grab lunch during open campus and go to Dolores Park and join the double lunch bunch (the cutting class crew) and layout on the grass and enjoy the day. As an adult this place has all the essential to make a drink run from Dolores Park. This San Francisco institution is expanding I am proud of it. The new Bi-Rite is located at the Polk Gulch. This Bi- Rite has an open space with lots of good drinks and food. Great selection of drinks. A seafood market and lots of fresh produce. They have my favorite new drink " You Guava Be Kidding Me". They also have those magical dessert jars. They also have Delfina Frozen pizza. Great new store . If you coming from North Beach to buy right at Bi- Rite on Broadway then turn right and you will approach The new Bi- Rite on Polk street in the Polk Gulch

Just remember they don't have the creamery here - no scoops, just the pints & sandwiches. Still good, just more ice cream for home.

In researching places near where we were staying, we learned about the Italian deli and shop. We were looking forward to stopping by to check out the store and grab lunch. The store itself is very cute and charming, full of so many items - fresh meats and cheeses, imported olive oils, pastas, desserts, wine, and liquor to name a few. There is an area where you can get coffee drinks and there is a deli area for ordering sandwiches, pizzas, specialty dishes, and salads. The variety of options is plentiful. I ordered an iced coffee beverage, which was great. My significant other and I ordered a sandwich to go, which we were splitting for a light lunch back at the hotel. The person helping at the counter was not very friendly or helpful with questions. We asked for our sandwich to be made on the Dutch Crunch bread, as we were looking forward to trying it. Unfortunately, when we got back to the hotel, it turned out that the sandwich was made on a regular ciabatta roll, which was not fresh. Additionally, the sandwich was mostly mixed greens. For the price, I expected more meat. With so many great food options in San Francisco, it is likely we won't stop by on future visits to the City.

I went with the Reuben: pastrami, Swiss, sauerkraut, 1000 Island on rye. It arrived warm, which I appreciated, but a warm sandwich with sauerkraut wrapped up for delivery is a rough combo. By the time it got to me the rye had gone a little soggy. A bit of a shame, but not a dealbreaker. Because the flavor itself was on point. The pastrami, Swiss, and sauerkraut balanced out well, nothing overpowered anything else, and it wasn't oversalted like a lot of Reubens end up being. The rye had a nice distinct character to it too. Next time I'll probably just walk in and order instead of doing delivery. I'm curious about their other sandwiches, though something cold would probably survive the DoorDash trip a lot better than this one did.
